Ayo Edebiri and Clairo Go Viral with Charli XCX ‘Apple’ Dance at Sabrina Carpenter Concert
If you thought a Sabrina Carpenter show couldn’t get more chaotic in the best way, think again. Ayo Edebiri and Clairo just turned a London crowd moment into a whole new internet obsession. And all they needed was Charli XCX’s viral Apple dance.
How Did The ‘Apple’ Dance Even Happen?
So here’s how it went down. Sabrina Carpenter was on her second night at BST Hyde Park. Packed crowd. Summer energy. Suddenly the big screen zooms in on Ayo Edebiri and Clairo standing there like two kids caught sneaking backstage.
Sabrina spots them. She does her classic playful thing — “Wait, who are you guys?” Ayo and Clairo point at each other, acting like they’ve never met. Then boom. They break into the Apple dance. Anyone who’s been anywhere near TikTok since Charli XCX dropped Brat knows exactly what’s up.
Charli’s been having celebs do that same dance at her own shows for weeks. Troye Sivan. Conan Gray. It’s become a little badge of honor in pop culture. Seeing Ayo and Clairo pull it at a Sabrina Carpenter concert? Peak crossover moment.
Why Did Sabrina Play Along So Perfectly?
Sabrina handled it like the pro she is. She clocked what they were doing — wrong concert, right vibe. So she flipped it back. She jumped in singing a bit of Apple just to help them save face. Then she made it even funnier.
She asked them if they’re single. Both nodded. So of course, Sabrina turned the flirt all the way up on Ayo. Poor Clairo played along, pretending to cry in the background while Sabrina shot a fake shot at Ayo. The whole moment felt like watching a Disney Channel crossover episode — but with grown-up pop stars who know exactly how to send the internet into meltdown.
Sabrina even slipped in a Juno shoutout. If you know, you know — she loves cuffing fans or dancers during that song. And she teased Ayo and Clairo about being her Juno girls. Pure mischief.
Online, fans went nuts. One fan summed it up perfectly: “Doing the ‘Apple’ dance is kind of the funniest thing they could do in that moment.” And they’re right. It was random, silly and totally on brand for everyone involved.
One more reason to love this weird little pop star circle. One minute they’re making albums, next they’re hijacking each other’s shows for a 15-second dance routine that ends up all over your feed by breakfast.
